Michael Mullen was adopted from Korea when he was 2.5 years old and didn’t meet another Asian person for 14 years. He grew up in Washington State, attended college at the University of Washington in Seattle, and moved to New York in 1997, after living in Seoul and Chicago. He attended one of Also-Known-As’s earliest events, but then got distracted and didn’t attend his second event until 20 years later. This is Mike's second year on the Also-Known-As Board of Directors and first term as president. You can find him on Facebook.
